The density of Epsom salt would vary a little depending on the size of the crystals. Swan brand says 5 grams per tsp. Which is 240 grams Epsom salt per cup.
I'll agree with the other person who said there are 240 grams in a cup of Epsom salt. I weighed out a cup and got a similar number: 256 grams. Doing the math, that puts about 1 3/4 cups per pound of epsom salt.
As a dry measure the answer would be 8 ounces. If you want a weight it would depend on what type of salt you were to weigh, table salt, kosher salt, etc. I weighed a cup (8 ounces) of iodized table salt on my digital scale and it weighed 15.2 ounces.
That is 1/4 cup.
One should measure 1/8 cup Epsom salt into the soak water per each cup of soak water. One should soak his/her feet for as long as desired.
eight ounces.
It is usually recommended that one use one tablespoon of Epsom salt per cup of water for most purposes. A thicker preparation can be used for infected sores or poison ivy.
To get a supersaturated solution you can either cool down the solution or let some of the water evaporate. To begin, make some Epsom salt crystals. These are easy to grow and you will begin to see crystals in a couple of hours. Start with one cup of warm distilled water (not boiling).
8 ounces in a cup.
One cup is 8 ounces!
there is 8 ounces in 1 cup
1 cup = 8 ounces, so 1/3 cup = 2.66 ounces.
